How to choose

Coverage and CADR

CADR measures clean air delivery in cubic feet per minute, while the maker coverage figure gives the room size in square feet. The LEVOIT lists 250 CFM for smoke with a maker coverage of 1,875 sq ft, the SIESEAN lists 235 CFM with a maker coverage of 3,500 sq ft, and the KNKA lists 226 CFM. Compare the maker figure with your room size, then use CADR to compare cleaning power across picks.

Noise and fan speeds

Noise in decibels tells you how loud a unit runs, and a lower figure means quieter running. The DBFIT runs at 15 dB in sleep mode, the KNKA at 24 dB, the WINIX and LEVOIT at 27 dB, and the SIESEAN at 30 dB. Fan speeds give control over airflow: the DBFIT has 6 speeds, the KNKA has 4 speeds, and the SIESEAN has 4 fan modes. Match the noise figure and speed count to the room where the unit will run.

Filters and upkeep

HEPA filtration traps airborne particles, and a carbon filter helps with odors from cooking, pets, and smoke. The WINIX, LEVOIT, KNKA, and DBFIT have washable pre-filters for cleaning between filter changes. The SIESEAN, KNKA, and DBFIT carry filter replacement indicators, with the SIESEAN listing replacement every 3 to 4 months and the KNKA and DBFIT every 3 to 6 months. Check the stated warranty too: the SIESEAN carries 3 years and the KNKA carries 2 years.
